About Taiwan Terrazzo Calendario
Il progetto esplora la risonanza tattile ed emotiva del terrazzo taiwanese, traducendo la sua essenza materica in una variegata collezione di design. Il calendario Taiwan Terrazzo Tales funge da medium principale, archiviando le texture locali e le narrazioni che ne stanno alla base in una linea temporale visiva. Trasformando le esperienze sensoriali in narrazione grafica, l'opera invita gli utenti a rivisitare il passato attraverso il rituale quotidiano di sfogliare ricordi consumati dal tempo ma luminosi.

- Design Challenge
- The challenge was transforming 365 terrazzo types into illustrations with Taiwanese history. The project aimed to shift perception, repositioning terrazzo from an "outdated" material into a vibrant element of contemporary lifestyle.
- Research
- The main challenge lay in the sheer scale of content creation: transforming 365 different terrazzo types into coherent illustrations while incorporating a narrative of Taiwanese history.
Beyond the visual impact, the project aimed to shift public perception. Terrazzo is often seen as an "outdated" functional material; therefore, repositioning it within contemporary lifestyles was crucial.
Simultaneously, a balance needed to be struck in narrative depth, ensuring the story enriched the user experience. - Inspiration
- This project focuses on "Terrazzo," a distinctive feature of Taiwanese architecture. Drawing from its unique material characteristics and our collective emotional memories, we have translated these elements into diverse design forms.
- Project Duration
- The project ran from Sept 2025 to March 2026 at Ming Chi University of Technology, Taipei.
The design is scheduled for public exhibition at the campus and the Young Designers' Exhibition (YODEX), the largest student design fair in Taiwan. - Operation Flow
- The Taiwan Terrazzo Tales Calendar is a tactile, narrative-driven experience. Users engage daily by flipping pages, where each date reveals a unique visual pattern paired with a micro-story.
To bridge the gap between digital/print graphics and physical reality, a genuine terrazzo element is integrated into the packaging, offering a multisensory connection that grounds the visual experience in material authenticity. - Patents
